Shunza
Chinese–American singer-songwriter (born 1973)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shunza (born 12 February 1973) is a Chinese–American singer-songwriter known for her "velvet" voice and love ballads. Unlike most pop idols who perform in front of screaming fans, Shunza's concerts are more intimate and cocktail-style.[2] Over the course of her career, she has collaborated with Taiwanese artists such as Elva Hsiao and Will Pan.
